The Simpsons predicted the US 'caught cheating' 9 years ago, did the world program it?

The biggest fraud case in the United States is still attracting much attention from the world. Recently, a shocking news immediately took over the airwaves, and many people realized that this plot was predicted in the movie The Simpsons .

The public "caught cheating" incident using " kiss cam " at the Coldplay concert in Boston on the evening of July 17 caused a global stir. A couple, instead of kissing, quickly covered their faces and hid when it was shown on the screen. Just a few hours later, their identities were "hunted": Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer and Kristin Cabot , HR Director of the same company. Both are married, causing outrage in public opinion. Notably, this news also sparked speculation about the "programmed world" when some netizens "dug up" the 2015 episode of The Simpsons that was said to have "predicted" this incident.

In the episode of The Simpsons called The Man Who Came To Be Dinner, there is a scene where a couple is caught on a "kiss cam" at a performance. What is noteworthy is that this animated couple is said to have a "quite similar" appearance to Byron and Cabot - the two main characters in the love scandal at the Coldplay concert. Even their costumes and jewelry are said to be "similar" to each other in a strange way. Many viewers really believe that the producers and editorial team of The Simpsons once again "accurately predicted" a future event, further strengthening the conspiracy theory about the show's "prophetic" ability.

However, the hard-core fan community of the film quickly spoke out to deny that the episode The Man Who Came To Be Dinner did not have the above segment. Reputable news sites such as WION and Marca also confirmed that the viral cartoon image was actually a product of AI, and did not appear in any official episode. Even Al Jean - the head of the production team of The Simpsons - had to speak out to deny it, affirming: "We make satirical films, not prophets. If there is any similarity, it is just a coincidence." However, this incredible "coincidence" still makes many people skeptical, raising questions about the boundary between coincidence and a "planned scenario".

The Simpsons, after more than 30 years on air, is not only a spiritual food for every family but also famous for its strange ability to predict some future events "right on target". From the inauguration of President Donald Trump, global pandemics to future technologies... Although most of the predictions are said to be just coincidences, this mysterious phenomenon is still extremely impressive, giving birth to many conspiracy theories and speculations about a "programmed world" surrounding the movie.

The cartoon has also had its fair share of musical coincidences. One notable example is a 1996 episode where Homer takes Bart and Lisa to a music festival, and hip hop group Cypress Hill unexpectedly performs with the London Symphony Orchestra—a combination that made the audience laugh.

Yet what seemed like a cartoon came true after nearly 30 years. In July 2024, Cypress Hill himself stood on the Royal Albert Hall stage, collaborating with the London Symphony Orchestra to perform in front of thousands of spectators. However, this time, instead of calling it a "prophecy", many people think that this is just a "decades-long" joke, turned into reality by fans of both sides, simply for fun and to create a unique event.

Despite the scandal, the "cheat" moment at Coldplay's concert accidentally brought a surprisingly positive effect to the band. Coldplay's music catalog recorded a 30% increase in daily on-demand streams in the US. The song "Sparks", released in 2000, suddenly "jumped" to number 42 on the US Spotify Top 50 chart.

And it doesn’t stop there: at one point on July 17, Coldplay even held all three top spots – a rare feat that few artists can achieve. This shows that, even if it’s a scandal or notoriety, sometimes it becomes an unexpected “boost” for a career, especially in the era of social media where all information spreads at a dizzying speed.

The "kiss cam" incident at the Coldplay concert is not only a story about love and scandal, but also opens up profound thoughts about privacy, the moral responsibilities of people with families, and especially the strange "coincidences" between real life and works of art, raising endless speculations about a "programmed world" in which we live.
